Email from Katrina Thanks, Kat

Hello there, I came across your website on google search. I looked through it and I just wanted to send you an email and share my homeless story.

My name is Kat and I live in my car with my boyfriend and my two dogs. Last year my boyfriend and I were kicked out of our roomates house because she was a druggie and turned her house into a crack house basically. My boyfriend and I don't do drugs at all and our roomate and us butted heads because of this a lot. We didnt have any place to go and didnt have a job at the time (we got laid off). We started looking for jobs and found one with a guy who owned an ice cream shop. He knew we were homeless and offered us to live with him and he would pay us by rent basically. Well this is around the time we also found out that I am pregnant. So we lived with our boss and he didnt pay us but just let us stay with him and we had to work 40-50 hours a week, do all the house chores and figure out a way to pay for our gas and food. Well we got food stamps which really helped. Then our boss, decides to move and gives us less than a few days notice that he needs us out to move out and sell his house. So, right now I am 5 months pregnant, still going to a community college, trying to find a job (since he closed his business and didnt pay us) and figure out how to survive in this economy. My boyfriend and I live in our car again with our 2 dogs. Our food stamps have been lowered since we have no job and no address anymore. Its been a very hard and difficult year for us, and we have been putting so many applications in to so many places and we havent heard anything back yet. We have been to a few job interviews but still havent heard anything from them. I just am so desperate for a job but who hires a girl who definitly looks pregnant?? Im so scared but I still have a little bit of hope left. My boyfriend and I are staying close and keeping each other from falling into a deep depression. We are both 21 years old and we are really trying but so many people are on a hiring freeze right now!! I pray every day that something will come up and change our lives...until then I will keep hoping!
